Igor Matanovic’s situation at FC St. Pauli appears to be causing disagreements between those responsible at Eintracht Frankfurt and those at Kiezkicker. Background: Eintracht signed Hamburg’s home-grown player in summer 2021 and loaned it back to his youth club. However, according to a report in the ‘kicker’, Frankfurt are now dissatisfied with the 19-year-old’s share of the game at the second division club. So is the player. Consequently, the lending business should be dissolved.
Several clubs from the second division have expressed interest in the centre-forward. The problem: Pauli has a right of veto and does not want to give Matanovic to a direct competitor. However, the game shares of the native of Hamburg are likely to be even lower in the second half of the season. With Maurides, Elias Saad and Oladapo Afolayan, the FCSP has already brought three new offensive players on board in the current transfer period. It can be assumed that all parties will meet promptly to find an appropriate solution.
